"Ordered some shoes online from this store. I found these shoes while on vacation in NYC but I didn’t want to pack them into my bag and fly them home. Once I got home I couldn’t find these specific shoes locally in Colorado. I was a bit hesitant because some times you don’t know what you’re getting yourself into with online purchases. But I decided to order any way, when checking out I made a mistake with my address and they were quick to fix it, fast to ship, and they had such wonderful customer service."

"Went in for climbing shoes and couldn't quite decide on a shoe. So the woman there assured me I could take them and try them, but would have to bring them back within thirty days with the box if they don't work. Didn't love them after ~2-3 uses so we went back to return. The manager there said they don't accept used shoes for return. Kind of frustrating since I only bought them with the employee's guarantee I could return them and then am out $100 with a pair of shoes I don't really like. All this to say, don't plan on returning climbing shoes."

"This place is awesome. If you're into hiking and camping trips, Appalacian outdoors has everything you will ever need. Only top quality products that last. They also have high-quality boots and shoes. Even dried foods for long camping trips or survival prep."

"I love browsing the skiing and climbing gear here. Cool to have a proper outdoor outfitter in a town like state college. I’ve had great experiences with skis and ski tuning. And I got some Asolo Fugitive boots here in 2016 and they are the best boots I’ve ever owned. After more miles than I can count I’m finally retiring them. Always quality gear and quality service."
